Thanks for the heads up. Was thinking of buying the DLC but this makes me anxious. Might just save the 12 for something else.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. But let's say I exclude The Following, would you still recommend the base game at that price?

I know this question isn't directed to me but I can tell you this;
I played Dying Light all the way towards the end and even doing side stuff.
It is an absolute blast to play. The parkour is even better than how Mirror's Edge does it and the combat is very rewarding. You will not be disappointed, especially not for that price.
Time to make a European account so I can buy the standalone Deadstorm Pirates. At $5, I can't say no.
Dracula X Chronicles includes both the original PC-Engine CD Rondo of Blood, plus a remake, plus SotN. However, SotN has been re-translated and re-dubbed, so if you want the *exact* same version that you played on PS1, you will want the PS1 classic. Also, both the original Rondo of Blood and SotN must be unlocked in the Rondo remake before they can be played. It's not particularly difficult, but you can't play them out of the box.

Dracula X Chronicles has both Symphony of the Night and the original Rondo of Blood, I think the emulation is pretty much the same.
I think the PS1 classic is 50hz, so the other one by far.
It works surprisingly well, actually. I was very sceptic at first, but the game proved me wrong when it comes to the controls.
If you like turn-based combat, you'd better jump on this deal.
Alright, where is eveyrone?....LOL
We all have questions, and apparently no one here plays any Sony video games suddenly!

The Last Order and Metro are good. Evil Within is worth a sale price I'd say, and is pretty graphic/grisly. At least I'm helping..lol.

Seriously the fuck does Road to Devastation NEVER go on sale individually?
Fuck.
Fuck.
I think I'll will, and play it early next year when things have quieted down a bit releasewise. Also, Larian is located in my hometown, so they earn my support

Everyone should buy Alone With You. Fantastic adventure game, more than worth that price. And for the trophy hunters, each version has its own plat and it's cross-buy. Two plats!
For me, I think I might grab The Bunker. I'm tempted by RE Revelations 2 as well but I'm not going to have the time to play it any time soon anyway, so may as well wait.

Hm I was sure it only adds the difference to your account when you checkout.

Worth noting for those unaware that the full Sotn is an unlockable in DXChronicles.

You should just need the season pass.
Be prepared for a shocking framerate on Vita though, Telltale's engine is horrendous.

I'm playing wolf among us, and yes, the loading and the frame rate are yuck. But I can play it anywhere, so I'll take it

I'd recommend having a look at the OT for some other opinions, but honestly I was very excited for The Following and I just found the finished product to be a drag and contrary to what worked so well in the main game.
Yes, Dying Light vanilla is superb and Techland have supported it really well with tons of free additions, patches and rebalancing. £20 for the whole deal is a good price, even though I was very disappointed in The Following.

If you haven't played Dying Light though it is definitely worth it. I haven't played The Following, but seriously, take the plunge for the main game anyway.
Yes but it's not the original version. If the re-translation and re-dub doesn't bother you, it's the better deal to get DXC. I'd rather have the original PS1 version.

There is that, but at least for my region it runs at 60hz instead of 50.
If you haven't bought it yet, you can technically get it for ~ £15.20, if you get a £15 code from CDKeys.
I'm still holding out for a US psn Halloween sale.
Urghhh noooooooooooooo

I found RE6 pretty solid. If you played and liked RE4/5 it might be worth a go. The campaign is rough at times but Mercenaries is absolutely amazing. Make sure you do some research into the gameplay system because the game does a trash job of explaining things to the player.
Metro 2033 and Last Light are both fantastic. 2033 is a bit clunky at times but they're both worth a playthrough I'd say. They're a bit more stealth focused so if you aren't into that kind of thing, beware.
Claire is a really nice 2D horror title. I'm not sure if you ever played Lone Survivor: Director's Cut through PS+ in the past but it's kinda similar to that one.
How is it unlocked?
Also can you choose which version of Rondo you want to play from the start, or do you need to unlock the original?
RE6 has really good combat mechanics but then campaign is all over the place. It feels like it is missing the focus. Overall still enjoyable especially if you get someone to play it in coop.
Wolfenstein is fantastic. Gunplay feels great and the story was surprisingly good.
TEW is really good but it really seems like one of those love or hate games. DLC is pretty much entirely stealth with only couple of section where you use a gun and those sections are way worse than anything in the main game. Still a good pick if you are interested in the story and world of TEW or like 'stealth' horror.
Anybody?

25$ with shipping cost retail?
Many thanks guys, I'll get on it.
Reading up about it and it sounds really interesting, particularly when a few reviews mention the SOMA vibes. Will give it a look too, thank you!

The former is 3 games in one and has Norio Wakamoto as Dracula in SotN. Also make sure to use that thing called 'Options' in all the menus to find the best resolution option to play SotN.
PSOne SotN has the cheesy Eng. dub otherwise and should be the US 60 Hz ver.
BTW, if you want to unlock the games in the PSP ver. fast just use this-

I just picked up Yakuza: Dead Souls and Castlevania Dracula X.
I can't believe I'm still playing PS3 (playing Yakuza 5 at the moment) and haven't really touched my PS4.... in 2016.
I still have Tales of Xillia, Catherine, Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen plus 3 Fatal Frame games to go on my PS3.
Castlevania: Dracula X is probably the only must have for me on that list. You can play SOTN from Dracula X, but you have to unlock it a few levels into the game.
I'm interested in Demon Gaze, but might pick it up next time.

Fallout 4 Season Pass has also gone on sale now (from £40 to £24.99). I don't see why Sony had some of those items sitting on the store page yesterday without actually applying the sale prices to them. It probably caught a few people out and got them to pay extra.
How do I get the save file across? PC to Vita? Save the file on a usb stick and then use PS3 to Vita?

Way I did it was connect my Vita to the PC and just copy the save file data using Content Manager, here's a guide on how to transfer Save data files-

One easier method is to make a save data for DCX, then when yopu connect to your PC search for it via Content Manager and when you find the right folder just replace the save data.
